Verb.
1. The act of shafting people in the queue without seeming like a total twat when the bartender forgets that you're at the back of the queue and asks you what you want. This is done by turning to one of the people next to you and saying "This person was here before me." to the bartender thus shafting everybody else and looking like a saint to the bartender and the person next to you. This is called barlowing because it is the moral equivalent of making a song for charity and performing tax evasion.
2. A manoeuvre that allows you to get to the front of a bar queue when one of the people in front of you leave and the person next to you is also contending to get that space. This is done by preventing the leaving man from turning to face you and can be performed in this step by step procedure:
Step 1: Form a barrier between the leaver and the bar's exit. This is commonly done by putting your hand on the bar while facing the leaver. This will cause him to turn the other way.
Step 2: If the leaver turns too far away, the "opponent" will still have a decent chance of getting that space. This can be prevented by putting your other hand on the bar, and then sliding in when the leaver starts to leave.
This is called barlowing because while it is usually considered rude to turn your back on somebody, you'll be thinking "I want your back for good."

1. "Wow Dave, that was very kind of you to let that man go first" "Actually Nick, I was barlowing the queue. I was 9th when I arrived, but I skipped to 2nd!"
2. While Dave was usually a moral person, he occasionally liked to practise barlowing in pubs. He didn't feel any guilt if the person next to him was a notefold cock.

Get the Barlowed mug.Unlike the other definitions on here, Barlow actually happens to be the best last name ever.
If Barlow is your last name, it tends to be a good substitute for a first name if yours is as bland as mine (or you just happen to go by your last name).

Get the Barlow mug.Situated in Redding, CT this high school is made up of the Easton and Redding kids, because both towns are basically too small to have their own place. School spirit is at an all time low, and doesn’t seem like we’ll start yelling ‘Barlow’s got the Power’ with our disliked cheerleaders until our athletics shape up and everyone come down from their high or sobers up a little bit. If you ask a Barlow kid what they listen to, most likely they will either say Dave Matthews Band or, if they think they are scene, From First to Last or Bleed the Dream.
The school has this wonderful tendency to be really weird. The walls for instance, are pink splattered paint that is sometimes known as “pig vomit paint”. Also, if you are looking for the record holder of pulled fire alarms in one year, you may want to check out Barlow. Those who were in the school in 2004-2005 will remember the ‘mercury spill’ when the whole school was denied lunch because someone spilt a little mercury on the floor near the cafeteria.
